Nairon is an AI startup building Hive, a platform for AI employees that take on real work end to end inside the tools companies already use.
We are a second time founding team; previous startup went through TechStars, raised from Silicon Valley investors, and ran for three years in sales tech.
We deploy Hive directly into real companies; everything we build is tested against messy, real world operations from day one.

We're hiring a Founding Engineer.
This is not a narrow specialist role; you'll work directly with the founding team, touching everything: shipping features, deploying real agents, mapping workflows, debugging issues, and improving the system.
You need to be comfortable taking ambiguity, asking good questions, working with AI agents, and getting to functional code quickly.

Build core parts of Hive alongside us.
Deploy AI native workflows, internal tools, and agentic systems into real companies.
Work directly with us IN PERSON from our Dubai office.
Translate real business problems into practical implementation plans.
Use coding agents heavily to move faster and produce better work.
Orchestrate multiple AI agents at once when needed.
Go deep into implementation details when needed, and stay high level when needed.
Ask sharp questions after thinking through the problem with your own tools and agents.

We care less about your CV and more about how you think, what you've built, and how strong your judgement when working with AI tools are.
You should have strong engineering fundamentals.
Be an all rounder who can move across the stack and across problems.
Be already using coding agents seriously.
Be comfortable showing how you prompt, plan, review, and implement with agents.
Be fast without being careless.
Be detail oriented enough to be trusted with real production systems.
Be able to translate and communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non technical folks.
Be comfortable in a Startup where speed matters a lot.
Be able to work in person with us every day in Dubai.

You should have at least 6+ months of serious hands on experience using coding agents.
We want to see how you actually work.
You should be able to explain your full AI stack, including: Orchestrator, Coding agents, Models, Tools, Libraries, Skills, Prompting patterns, Review workflows, Any custom setup that helps you move faster or produce better work.
We're especially interested in how you reach consensus with an agent BEFORE implementing, how you catch bad outputs, how you test work, and how you get to working code that does not break.
